Government today started the refurbishment of the National
Sports Stadium in Harare following a series of meetings held yesterday.
The giant facility, together with all other venues was
condemned by the Confederation of African Football prompting Government to pull
resources together to upgrade the stadium.
The AFCON qualifying tie between the Warriors and Algeria
had been taken away from Zimbabwe and was set to be played on neutral soil but
that ban could be lifted after ZIFA lodged an appeal with CAF.
The Herald visited the National Sports Stadium this
afternoon and witnessed workmen attending to the playing turf, which is one of
the major areas recommended for upgrading by the CAF inspectors last November.
Media tribunes, turnstiles, sitting bays, doping rooms as
well as ablution facilities will also be attended to. Herald
